I have two drives, an ssd with windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot, and an hdd with some personal files.

I used to be able to access my hdd from both OSs just fine, but now all of a sudden i can't mount my it on ubuntu.

I can open the hdd just fine while on windows but on ubuntu i get the following error:

Unable fo access location: Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/MyName/MyDrive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Real helpful error message i gotta say, "It could be either of these 5 things, or something else, idk", lol.

Anyway, what can i do about this? I'd like to be able to access my hdd from ubuntu again.

Yes, that's the first thing i tried.

Edit: I guess i didn't, since shift+shutdown worked. Or at least i did, but windows said: "I'm going to ignore that"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
